Monster of the Day #3710

Yesterday I mentioned Drac Pack, which was basically a cartoon version of the live action program Monster Squad. Both were for kids in an era when that basically meant "pretty dumb," but I personally like Monster Squad a lot more, even if it's pretty cheap looking.

Monster of the Day #3709

Yes, everyone, I'm alive. My Internet cable got whacked on Monday and AT&T came out yesterday and got me up and running again. It's good to be back.Turns out Amazon Prime is offering some real nostalgia bait, the 1976 Saturday morning live action* kiddie show The Monster Squad. Better than the Shane Black movie!…

The film we watched last Friday for the Watch Party as Star Pilot, aka 2+5 Mission Hydra, a wonderfully goofy Italian sci-fi epic. There's a newish Blu Ray of it out, and Amazon has it discounted from $30 to $15, a rather reasonable price. One buyer on Amazon calls the image quality "stunning." Just…

Not (?) Monster of the Day #24

It was getting late, and most people headed out, marking the near end of T(ween) Fest 2025 weekend. However, Sandy was up for one more movie, so I popped in my recently procured Blu Ray for 1930's The Bat Whispers. Sandy later admitted he was a bit unenthusiastic about the choice. These old dark…
